00:00DOWAGER HAT'S BUSY DAY
00:05It was early morning at Tidmouth Sheds.
00:10The engines were ready for a busy day ahead, when the Fat Controller arrived.
00:17Achoo!
00:23Ah!
00:26Ooh, bless you, sir.
00:29Thank you, Hephri.
00:31Are you feeling all right, sir?
00:33Oh, yes, yes, I'll be fine, Thomas. Just a little...
00:37Achoo!
00:39Ooh, that's a nasty cold you have there, sir.
00:43Oh, it's nothing. I feel as fit as a bear.
00:47Achoo!
00:50Now, listen up, every donny. Here are your jobs for the day.
00:56Ahem!
00:58Huh?
01:03Top up?
01:07I thought I told you not to come to work today.
01:10But I have a railway to run, mother.
01:13Not with a stinking cold like that, you don't.
01:16Now, back home immediately.
01:19Impossible. Somebody has to be in charge here.
01:22Well, well, I'll do it then.
01:27How hard could it be?
01:29But you don't know anything about railways.
01:33But I know a lot about naughty boys who won't stay in bed when they're sick.
01:38Take him back home, boys.
01:41But I'm feeling perfectly fine.
01:44Achoo!
01:46Huh?
01:47Oh...
01:49Ah, that's better. Now, let's get down to business.
01:53You, Thomas, I'd like you to pop down to Brendan Docks
01:58and collect my new hat.
02:01But, ma'am, I usually start my day pulling passengers on my branch line.
02:06Uh...
02:08Hmm...
02:12You! What's your name?
02:14Emily, ma'am.
02:16Emily can take your passengers, Thomas, while you're collecting my hat.
02:21Uh, excuse me, but I already know my first job
02:25is to take trucks of scrap to the scrap yard today.
02:29Don't worry about that, Emerald. I'll sort something out.
02:33Right then, I'm off to Knapford.
02:36I'll be able to run things more efficiently from there.
02:42Well, I guess I'm off to Brendan Docks to collect a hat.
02:59Why is Thomas picking up a hat?
03:02Derrida Hat is in charge today and she's making a few little changes.
03:09Ha! At least I'm not being sent off on some silly errand.
03:14Oh, excellent. Now, Geoffrey.
03:17Geoffrey? Who's Geoffrey?
03:19Listen, Gregory, since Ermintrude is tied up,
03:22I'd like you to take her trucks of scrap to the scrap yard.
03:26Scrap? Impossible. I'm here to pull the express.
03:31Goodness me! You wouldn't talk to my son like that, would you, Gerald?
03:37Uh, no, but...
03:39And I'm sure you wouldn't want to disappoint his sweet old mother.
03:44Uh, no, Mum.
03:46Lovely. Thank you, Gavin. Off to the scrap yard you go, then.
03:50Oh, indignity.
03:54Meanwhile, Thomas was still waiting for Dowager Hat's hat to arrive.
03:59I mean, agents should be doing important jobs, not carrying hats.
04:05I agree, Cranky.
04:07But while the Fat Controller is ill, Dowager Hat is in charge.
04:12Ah, now, here's someone who's ready to do a proper job.
04:17Sorry, Thomas.
04:19Now, here's someone who's ready to do a proper job.
04:22Sorry, Cranky.
04:24Dowager Hat wants me to go to Vicarstown and deliver a cake to her friend, Lady Toffington.
04:31Cakes? Hats? What next? Balloons?
04:40Oh, no!
04:46This is absurd!
04:48None of us knows what job Dowager Hat wants us to do next.
04:52We're all stuck here, waiting for her to finish pruning her pelargoniums.
04:58Left a bit. No.
05:00Right a bit. Back a bit.
05:03Hold it. Oh, yes!
05:05That certainly brightens up this dreary old platform.
05:10Left a bit. Hold it. No.
05:14Eleanor, what's the problem?
05:16The problem is confusion and delay, and it's all over Sodor.
05:21Surely not. All the engines are working hard.
05:25But nobody's doing the jobs they need to do.
05:28I was carrying Thomas's passengers. Gordon was carrying my scrap.
05:33Oh, dear. If Gordon was at the scrapyard, then who was pulling the express?
05:41Now, who did I ask to pull the express?
05:48Percy? But Percy isn't strong enough to pull the express.
05:53But you seem such a willing little engine.
05:56Dowager Hat, there are certain engines that are suitable for certain jobs, and other engines that are not.
06:05Oh, dear. I didn't realise it was so complicated.
06:11Now Topham is going to be all cross and say I don't know how to run his railway.
06:17Well, yes. Or we can try to get things sorted. I'm happy to help you out.
06:24Really? Would you? Oh, that would be marvellous, Esmeralda.
06:30It's Emily, ma'am. And don't worry, you and I will soon get the Fat Controller's engines back on the right tracks.
06:41Oh, no, you, Topham. I told you to hold it.
06:45Working together, Emily and Dowager Hat started to get all the engines back doing their regular jobs.
06:51Gordon, look, you're back pulling the express.
07:04With Emily's help, Dowager Hat was able to pull the express back on the right tracks.
07:11With Emily's help, Dowager Hat sorted out the engines so that they were all doing their proper jobs again.
07:21That's right. No, I said over there. No, you're going to Knapford.
07:27And just in time.
07:32Oh.
07:34Topham, what are you doing out of bed?
07:37I'm feeling a lot better, Mother.
07:41Everything seems to be running smoothly.
07:44Of course it is, dear. But I can't take all the credit. Emily here helped me.
07:49She called me Emily.
07:52I bet you thought I wouldn't be able to run your railway. But I think I've done a pretty perfect job.
08:00I have to admit, I had my doubts.
08:03I mean, well done, Mother.
08:06Oh!
08:11Sorry I've been so long. I've been waiting at Brendam Docks all day for this hat to arrive.
08:18Why?
08:19Everything's fine now, Topham. Let's go and have ourselves a nice cup of tea.
08:29Thank goodness everybody's back doing their proper job.
08:33Thank goodness. No problem. I'm fine.
